Borussia Dortmund’s Julian Weigl could well stay. Meanwhile Raphael Guerreiro is to be sold, Dan-Axel Zagadou is probably also looking for a buyer. Shinji Kagawa has found a target, but is still searching. And the BVB makes use of FC Bayern. Here you can find all news and rumours about Borussia Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund’s Julian Weigl could also miss a transfer in summer 2019. That’s what the kicker reports. According to this, the club should not be prepared to give up the midfielder. The responsible persons want to set up the squad in the best possible way for the targeted championship fight and keep Weigl accordingly.
However, the 23-year-old wanted to leave the BVB already in winter 18/19. At that time he was denied release – now the same fate seems to befall him again. Especially since according to kicker there are no offers so far. On Wednesday SportBild had already announced that Paris Saint-Germain had postponed its interest.
However, while SportBild said that there were other interested parties from “all top leagues”, kicker reported that there was not a single offer. For Weigl an unsatisfactory situation, his alternative role in the central defence after the change of Mats Hummels should also be occupied.
Borussia Dortmund’s Raphael Guerreiro will continue to be on the sheet of Paris Saint-Germain and former coach Thomas Tuchel. But the Portuguese has to be patient for the time being. As the kicker reports, PSG currently does not have the financial leeway to tackle the transfer of the 25-year-old.
On the contrary, Paris will probably first need departures in order to become active afterwards. Among other things, the possible sale of Neymar could uncover some financial resources for the French. Then Guerreiro could become the topic.
According to Catalan media, however, the enormously flexible Guerreiro is also an issue for FC Barcelona. An alternative to Jordi Alba is still being sought there. Meanwhile, BVB is not to be extended by either party until 2020 despite the agreement.
Borussia Dortmund’s Dan-Axel Zagadou apparently started the search for a new employer. That’s what the picture says. The central defender’s advisor is to search for possible customers, especially in England. FC Arsenal is considered a potential buyer.
According to the report, Borussia Dortmund can expect a redemption of about 30 million euros. Zagadou, who is only 20 years old, is still bound until 2022, but has lost his importance after Mats Hummel’s engagement. Constant fluctuations in his performance made him an uncertainty factor in the BVB’s back team.
Borussia Dortmund’s Shinji Kagawa could stay in Istanbul. Although according to various reports the Japanese is looking for an employer in Spain, Besiktas would be interested in holding the BVB loan. “We are planning with Kagawa for the new season,” Club President Fikret Orman said at BeinSports.
The 30-year-old had switched to the Süper Lig in January 2019, but was supposed to return on June 30. For Besiktas he scored four goals in 14 games and gave two assists. But in Istanbul, too, people are aware of Kagawas thoughts: “Only if he finds a buyer in Spain will we go our separate ways.”
Borussia Dortmund is also working on the trainer team for the future. As sports director Michael Zorc confirmed to the Ruhrnachrichten, athletics coach Johannes Wieber was enticed away by FC Bayern Munich. There he was responsible for the U23 of the club, at the BVB he will succeed Dr. Anke Steffen at the professionals.
Meanwhile the BVB wants to continue to work together with the co-trainers Manfred Stefes and Edin Terzic. Both are to extend until 2021, analogous to head coach Lucien Favre. “That’s an issue we’re tackling now,” Zorc said.
